Calzaghe V The Crusierweights

Thats nonsense. it doesnt matter how tall or short you are an addition of a stone let alone 2 stone is VERY noticeable.

 

Two stone on a taller (and naturally heavier) guy is less noticeable than the same on a smaller person - nature of physics!

As I said, I don't believe he puts on two stone - though he probably gets into the ring at 180 as a SMW.

 

I don't think he's big or strong enough to beat a decent cruiser.

I do think he has a deceptive frame, though. He doesn't look that big but when he made 175 against Jones Jr, he did look fairly cut up.

He claims to be a guy who eats crap and has a few beers outside training so I can see him walking around up towards 14 stone, but I don't think that means much when you fight guys who are in fighting shape at 14 stone, which Calzaghe clearly wouldn't be.

 

He walks around at about 195, you never really see him at it coz he's never about unless he's training or immmediately after a fight. You can see it at the Haye-Enzo fight and on Johnathon ross show, he's thick set.

Only cruiser i think he could have any sucess with would be Fragomeni. Should stay at LH or retire.

 

Joe relies a lot on outworking his oponents and outspeeding them. At 200+ lbs I think both of these qualities would take a big hit.

 

Please have one more fight, get knocked out, and then retire :good

 

David Haye and Wlad Klit are the only two fighters in the world I favour over Calzaghe.

Powerful with just enough speed to catch Joe.

 

I have heard on more than one occassion that Joe Calzaghe walks around at 14 stone.

 

If his chin and speed held up at the higher weight I'd give him a 50/50 chance againest most of the top guys at CW.
